1x16 Mode PLC Splitter with SC APC Connector

The Box-type PLC splitter is a key passive component in Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) and Passive Optical Network (PON) systems. It accurately and evenly distributes a single optical signal from the trunk fiber to multiple output fibers, enabling point-to-multipoint connections.

Wirenet single-mode 1x16 planar lightwave circuit (PLC) fiber optic splitters evenly distribute a single input signal to 16 output signals, making them ideal for passive optical networks (PON) and other high-channel-count applications. Unlike fused fiber couplers (where light is coupled from one fiber core to another), these devices operate as continuous waveguides to split the propagating signal.

Utilizing advanced planar lightwave circuit (PLC) technology and housed in a robust industrial-grade enclosure, we offer a reliable, easy-to-install, and "plug-and-play" optical splitter solution suitable for various demanding environments. Whether for large-scale central office deployments or building corridor fiber distribution box installations, it is a trustworthy choice.

Box-type PLC splitters can be classified according to different dimensions:

* By splitting ratio:

(1) 1x2, 1x4, 1x8, 1x16, 1x32, 1x64, etc.

(2) 2xN (such as 2x32), etc., with two input ports, commonly used for protection routing or link redundancy.

* By fiber type:

(1) Standard type: Used for ordinary single-mode fiber (G.652.D).

(2) Bend-insensitive type: Used for bend-insensitive fiber (G.657.A/B), suitable for wiring in narrow indoor spaces.

* By connector type:

Different connectors can be pre-installed on the input and output ends, such as SC/LC/FC, APC/UPC, etc. SC/APC (blue connector, angled contact, low reflection loss) is commonly used in FTTH.

Features:

* High splitting ratio and compactness: Easily achieves high splitting ratios of 1xN (N=2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64...), with all splits integrated onto a single chip, resulting in a compact size, making it particularly suitable for high-density installation environments.

* Excellent uniformity: Provides very uniform optical power distribution across all output channels, with minimal variation (typically <1dB), ensuring that all users receive essentially the same optical signal strength.

* Wavelength insensitive: Operates stably across a wide wavelength range of 1260nm~1650nm (covering all bands used in FTTH: 1310nm, 1490nm, 1550nm), suitable for triple-wavelength multiplexing systems.

* High stability and reliability

* Low insertion loss

* Reversible direction

Application:

* FTTH/PON Networks: 

The primary application. In passive optical networks, it is located between the central office (OLT) and the user end (ONU), used to distribute the signal from a single trunk fiber to multiple end users. Commonly deployed in:

    1. Central office: As a primary splitting point.

    2. Roadside/building corridor splitter boxes: As a secondary splitting point.

    3. Low-voltage shafts/wiring closets within buildings.

* Fiber Optic CATV Networks: Used to distribute cable television optical signals.

* Testing and Measurement: In laboratories or production lines, used to distribute light source signals to multiple test channels.

* Other Optical Distribution Networks: Such as local area networks and optical interconnects within data centers.
